Abstract :
Providing security for enterprises is difficult due to the size and complexity of their computing and networking infrastructures. These environments consist of a large number of diverse systems and services that continually change, thus they are difficult to defend using current static-oriented defense mechanisms. This paper introduces a new security paradigm that mimics designs in nature to ensure the safety and soundness of infrastructures that are potentially very diverse and dynamic. Primary inspiration has come from ant colonies, social networking, and bioinformatics. The proposed framework combines these ideas to provide complex-adaptive security for computer systems, telecommunications, and critical Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) infrastructures.
